BIOMETRIC ELECTRODE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

An electrode system for sensing biometric signals from a body region of a user and a method of manufacture thereof, the electrode system comprising: a substrate comprising a reference region and a signal communication region, the signal communication region including a set of conductive leads; a set of biosensing contacts coupled to the set of conductive leads; a non-conductive region ensheathing each of the set of biosensing contacts, the non-conductive region including: a set of openings that expose at least a portion of each of the set of biosensing contacts for interfacing with the body region of the user, upon coupling of the electrode system to the user; a first bonding layer that couples the substrate to a fabric base; and a second bonding layer coupled to the first bonding, wherein the substrate is hermetically sealed between the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer.
